AbstractBackground and Aims: Liver has been a target organ for gene therapy as it plays a central role in metabolism and production of serum proteins. Many metabolic disorders result from a deficiency of liver-derived protein products. In transplantation settings, modulation of the immune responses caused by CTLA4Ig protein has been shown to be an attractive direction. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of hepatocyte transduction via introduction of the exogenous CTLA4Ig gene to the rat liver graft by retrovirus vector, and examined the presence of target serum protein after gene transfers. Methods: We constructed a replication defective retroviral vector that contained the CTLA4Ig gene. The liver graft regeneration index was first examined by 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, Ki-67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen antibodies to determine the optimal time of gene transduction. The liver graft was then perfused with the retroviral vector, and animals were killed at constant time points to examine for the presence of CTLA4 protein in the graft and peripheral blood. Results: CTLA4 protein was detected on postoperative days 5, 9 and 14, with liver graft tissue transduction indexes of 7.2, 10.9 and 1.8, respectively. Blood protein levels were at 151.6, 26.5 and 21.4 ρg/mL, respectively. A transduction index reaching 22.1 was observed in the graft with the most rapid liver regeneration. Conclusions: We had established the gene delivery model in rat with auxiliary partial liver transplantation. Expression of the exogenous gene delivered by retrovirus was demonstrated in the liver with secretion of diffusible protein in the bloodstream. The present study provides important information for gene transfer using the liver to produce the target protein in situ and as serum protein. This will also be applicable to the treatment of other metabolic diseases. © 2002 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.
